Today, we got cultured in Native Alaskan culture. This is Alaska's State Bird, the Willow
Ptarmigan. The bird on the left is in it's summer plumage, but in the winter, it's all white.
This grizzly towered over Bob.
I thought the Artic Fox was so cute. It looks like a cross between a dog and a cat.
These are native creatures also. The polar bear and various seals.
There was a presentation on the Northern Lights. They are electrically charged ions. Unfortunately, we won't be able to see them at this time of the year. Right now, it never really gets dark.
Aren't these beautiful?
Everything in the museum was of the Alaskan culture. These fish catchers were designed by the Native Indians. The fish swim into the right funnel and can't get back out.
Another section of the museum was exclusive Native Alaskan Art.
This was my favorite. I guess it's considered abstract???
What????????????
Bob is quite sure this was a finger painting he did in Kindergarten. He wondered what became of it! LOL
